Problems importing python-Xlib

Question

I installed a new module and it appears as if one of its dependencies was not already installed. The module is called Xlib.display. Here is the error message I received:

Answer 1

I was having the same problem, but the solutions above didn't work for me. Since I had installed python through the anaconda package, when I used:

sudo apt-get install  python-xlib

Xlib was still undetectable by python2. The solution in my case was to use:

anaconda search -t conda python-xlib

Then find the package from the anaconda api, mine was erik/python-xlib. Install it using:

conda install --channel https://conda.anaconda.org/erik python-xlib

Then it worked.
